remy, I don't think anyone here should apologize anymore for the fact that you hang out with a lot of idiots. How about you try looking at ILX film thread re: this movie and its director OH WAIT YOU CANNOT IT IS GONE ;_;

But we're 7 years later now, and how many of those same folks are still talking about the movie? Kevin Spacey's been established to the point that its never referred to, Thora Birch is more remembered for Ghost World, and Spiderman-dude and even Donnie Darko-dude has usurped the place that the kid in this one(wes bently, wasn't it?) had.

This list was actually published I think nearly a year ago. Though it's nice to see a boring list ignored here for once, until now.

I really, truly hated Jules and Jim, but the exact reasons are fuzzy. But I've hated every Truffaut I've seen - sooner or later will have to borrow The 400 Blows just to make sure I can write him off completely.

actually it's still better than that deadening manga-esque film 'renaissance' (which also features daniel craig providing the voice for the lead character...hmm..)

Person 1: ".....[blah blah blah] Moonstruck...."Person 2: "Oh, Moonstruck! I love that movie, it's one of my alltime favorites!"
And I don't really remember too much about Moonstruck, so I'm always a little baffled by it, but I accept it's one of those movies that people really love that did nothing for me.
The other movie where this happens a lot: The Big Lebowski.

So what's your point -- that it's not true, or just that it's not interesting? If the latter, I can respect that, but if the former, then you're just wrong.
("Random lonely hearts", whatever -- what cross-section would work for you, then?)
and that somehow box office popularity is actually a qualifier for being "overrated"
From what I can tell, the list is a hodgepodge of critical and popular/box-office favorites, no? I mean, it's a mess, but it's certainly not calibrating solely on "box office popularity" (though I'm not sure that you were saying that).
And again, if you're arguing that there aren't a lot of people who rate Forrest Gump, A Beautiful Mind, etc. highly, then you're wrong. If you're arguing that those people are somehow irrelevant, then I might like to know who it is you would consider relevant.

But if you ask "who gives a crap about Forrest Gump?", then you kinda forfeit the right to wring your hands about it if you get a truthful answer to that question.
